'Trump didn't like that': Phone call with European leaders leaves president fuming

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-russia-ukraine-war-2673881869/

Zelensky warned Trump during the call, which lasted more than an hour, that "Putin cannot be trusted," according to a knowledgeable source, who added that Trump told the leaders that land swaps would be necessary for a peace deal.

"Trump said it's Vladimir and Volodymyr who have to discuss territories with each other, not him," the source said.

Merz and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte were both "very active" on the call, according to the source, while Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni "raised some good points" and Polish President Karol Nawrocki "reminded Trump of the Battle of Warsaw, exactly 105 years ago, when Poland fought together with Ukrainians against the Bolsheviks in Russia" – but one leader angered the U.S. president.

"A source who was on the call said Macron took 'very tough' positions and told Trump 'a meeting is a very big thing to give to Putin,'" Axios reported, quoting the source. "'Trump didn't like that.'"

So djt is between a rock and the deep blue sea full of sharks. At the same time, he's dying for a Nobel Peace Prize (cuz Obama got one). Should be interesting to see how he wriggles around on this hook

the former 16 year KGB agent of whom all of our allies know will be pulling the strings of this petty pathetic narcissist for all the world to see. I feel like I’m watching a horror movie and need to cover my eyes.

This has the same significance as TACO's setting foot on North Korean soil. That gave Kim Jong Un the recognition he sought as a player in the world power structure.

The commonality is that in both meetings Trump got absolutely nothing in return for giving away what is a significant benefit.

It doesn't matter if it's Alaska or Mar-A-Lego. Putin should not get an invitation to our country until he ends the war and withdraws his troops from all Ukrainian lands, including Crimea.

BTW, there is a big push on in Russia to take Alaska back from the U.S., by force if necessary. If we're not careful, we might find ourselves having only 49 states after Friday's meeting. Trump might throw Alaska under the bus to end the war that Putin began.

Felon47 will do whatever it takes to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

At this point, for Putin, Trump is the proverbial lame duck. He'll string him along and make him think he's actually accomplishing something and if he really wants to taunt him, he'll give him a wink and a nod over the Nobel thing.

This is all playing out like a really, really, really bad movie. Really bad.

I don't know if Putin has something on him, if Trump just loves him some autocrats, or some combination of the two.
